If you’ve ever wondered how it would feel to swing off a 150ft crane then now is your chance to find out.

The Stroke Association’s ‘The Big Swing’ returns to The Titan Crane in Clydebank, Glasgow for the event on Sunday, June 19.

If you are the sort of person who likes challenge events such as abseils and Skydives, then this is the ideal event for you. It’s also a great challenge for a first timer who is looking to achieve something new. It is guaranteed to be a memorable, adrenaline-filled experience for all who take part.

Registration is £10 until 1 March and then £15. Fundraisers are also asked to raise a minimum of £145 in sponsorship.
